“If You’re Longing To Wear The Clothes You Want But You Settle For Whatever Fits Because You’re Disgusted and Embarrassed With How You’re Body Looks But You Think You Don’t Have The Time to Exercise Then This Is The Most Important Page You’ll Ever Read”

 My name is Mubarakah (pronounced moo-ba-ra-ka) and I am a certified personal trainer and fitness expert  (you can read my bio here) .  I have a personal mission to help Muslim women become more healthy and fit so you can, as Oprah says, “live your best life ever”.  I believe with the proper motivation, information and dedication anyone can create the body they desire.  It doesn’t matter if you have been “big all your life” or have “tried to lose weight” countless of times.  With the proper guidance YOU CAN DO IT!

 

 “No matter where you choose to worship, all women want to know the same thing . . . how do you get rid of cellulite”

– Mubarakah Ibrahim on the Oprah Show (July 4, 2008)

 

I have been working with women and wellness related issues for the last 10 years.  But more importantly than that 

• I am also a mother of four, a wife, a sister, and a daughter so I understand the burdens and joys of being a woman.
• I am a business owner and president of an organization and I know what responsibility, deadlines and unexpected turns can create in life. 
• I am also a fitness enthusiast and recreational athlete so I know what it’s like to have personal health and fitness goals. 

And I’ve been where you are at some point in my life.  Here are few phases of my life’s journey that you may be able to relate to. . .

• Gained 80lbs after complications with my first pregnancy
• Gain between 20-30lbs of extra weight with each of my other 3 children
• Stay at home mom for 10 years, home schooling all of them.
• Working full time, going to school full time, in addition to raising 4 children and a husband (Okay we know that’s really 5 children
• Own a business, going to school part time and trying to lose that last 10lbs I’ve promised myself I wouldn’t gain this winter (it happen to the best of us) 

I own New Haven CT’s ONLY all women’s personal training studio and Fitness Boot Camp Program for Women.  I’ve help hundred of women burn fat, increase their strength, and improve their fitness level.  The body shaping that happens along the way “ain’t no accident either”. 

·         Toned arms

·         Slimmer Thighs

·         Firmer Butt

·         Flatter Abs

 Why most have a hard time losing weight….

and keeping it off.

 ”Reason” Treason:

Do you have a “reason” you don’t exercise as often as you should?  Or eat as healthy as you should Or eat as healthy as you should

• “I’m too tired at the end of the day”
• “I had to do ________________ for my hubsand/ kids”
• “I had a hard day so I broke down and had ________________”. ( fill in with your favorite comfort food)

And the list of “reasons” go on.

How Much Does It Cost To Join this EXCLUSIVE Fitness Club and be personally coached by Mubarakah?

 Shocking Answer!

 

You can get a membership and a wealth of knowledge and information for less than a cup of coffee a day

 

 I’ll be honest with you, deciding how much to charge for a membership was a tough task. I want to provide the personal hand-holding everyone desperately needs (and sometimes even swift kick in the pants), but make it affordable enough so the average person could gain access to it as well.

How many times have you seen the latest online website out there only to be disappointed in the fact that you couldn’t afford the coaching? How did that make you feel?

That’s why I’ve decided to price 30 Day Fat Burn membership at an introductory price ANYONE can gain access to this exclusive coaching.

Understand this… I charge private clients thousands of dollars to have access to me and the information I am sharing on this website.

The good news is you won’t pay anything close to that.

You can join my 30 Day Fat Burn Fitness Club (with all the benefits above) for just $99 for the complete 3 month program.

What’s The Catch? How Can This Type of Membership Be So Affordable?

 I can offer this incredible service for less than the price of a cup of coffee a day because of one thing. 

LEVERAGE.

By offering coaching through our Fitness forum, tele-conference calls and even the video workouts, I can help more people reach their dreams.  Since I don’t have to fly out to you (and you don’t have to come to my Personal Training Studio in Connecticut), by harnessing the power of the Internet, I can help you without traveling.  This gives me tremendous leverage – and I can keep the price down and quite affordable.

Oh yeah, I almost forgot!

You should take advantage of this opportunity RIGHT NOW before the price goes up! 

Become a 30 Day Fat Burn member now and lock-in this low rate (even when the price goes up, you’ll never pay a penny more)

Muslimah Trainer Brings Teens’ Fitness “Boot Camp” To The Hill

Teens’ Fitness “Boot Camp” Comes To The Hill

by Riquee Blackman Jarmon | September 21, 2009 7:43 AM | Permalink | Comments (0)   

Source:http://www.newhavenindependent.org/archives/2009/09/ct_boot_camp_ce.php

With a new location, the Connecticut Boot Camp Center at Balance Fitness has room to grow into something that more people in the community can benefit from, according to owner Mubarakah Ibrahim. Teenage girls, especially.  

Ibrahim said she’s excited about a free mother-daughter’s night she’ll start for young girls and their moms or guardians. She makes it clear that she doesn’t want income to hinder families from coming out.  

 

“Donations will be accepted,” said the mother of four, “but if people don’t have anything they can still come — and it’s just going to be a fun time for just moms and daughters to do fun things.”

Ibrahim said many of the programs that were available at the former 363 Whalley Ave. location will be available at the new 370 Davenport Ave. location.

“I’m still gonna continue to do one-on-one personal training class, but we’ve expanded, now we are the CT Fitness Boot Camp Center at Balance Fitness,” she said. “So, that means that we’re going to do a lot more short, intense, result-driven programs.”

DSCN0420.JPGThe new location, with 2,000 square feet of space, allows clients space to move around and do more exercises, so that they don’t have to go outside to do certain workouts, as they would at the old location.

 

“This is nicer because it’s bigger,” said client Terri Tulli, who’s from Oxford and participates in the boot camp.

April Chevalier, one of the trainers at the center, said that’s what she likes about the new location, more space, but she’s not giving her clients any time off because of the new arrangements.

“We just moved to this facility tonight and we’re gonna be starting tomorrow,” said Chevalier.

A nationally certified trainer, Chevalier gave a demonstration of one of the boot camp classes at the grand opening Saturday evening.

“I definitely needed that work-out,” said Barbara Fair, after the demo.

Ibrahim said she wants to offer more family oriented programs as well.

“We’ll have the programs for women in the morning and in the evening, and in addition, we’re going to incorporate an afternoon program for kids,” she said, pointing towards where her children were sitting. She said the program for kids will “be a boot camp-type program really, focused on fitness and healthy eating.”

Terri Tulli said she met Ibrahim when she became involved with the CT Fitness Challenge, where teams of three competed to lose the most weight for a $3,000 prize. She said her reward was even greater than the money.

“I went to my doctors two weeks ago,” Tulli said, “and because I lost so much weight they were able to take me off of my blood pressure medication because my blood pressure came down to a normal level.”

“If I’d won the money that’s just an added bonus, I actually got a life,” she said. “I can feel healthy, I can run and keep up now.”

“We came to her boot camps on every other Saturday,” said Tulli, who drives from Oxford. “I lost almost 22 [pounds].” She said she went to Ibrahim’s boot camp for 12 weeks and did some exercise on her own and has even seen a change in her health.

Sherri Post, Tulli’s sister-in-law and teammate in the CT Fitness challenge, said she doesn’t mind the drive and wishes she lived closer so she could come more.

“I lost 17 pounds,” said Post, “in 12 weeks.”

She said the boot camp pushed her to jog when she thought she’d never be a runner.

Post said she likes the group aspect of the boot camp. Both women said their cholesterol levels dropped as well.

“That’s what it’s really all about,” said Adrianne Mayo, one of the three trainers at the center.

“I think it’s wonderful that people can exercise and make dietary life changes and come off the medication.” Mayo is certified by the National Academy of Sports Medicine and is presently taking classes to become a certified massage therapist in order to focus on therapeutic massage. She gave a demonstration to a small group during the grand opening.

Mayo, who teaches evening classes, said she is happy about the new space. “I think it’s great, I like the space and there’s more flexibility to have other people train while we teach other classes.”

Karin Krochmal of New Haven started at the former location in May of this year. “I’m excited to try some of the indoor stuff that we can do,” she said.

She said the trainers are tough, but in good way.

“If someone is having a hard time, it’s not a lot of pressure for them,” said Krochmal, who said she likes Ibrahim’s attitude and the atmosphere she promotes.

Exercise Tailored to a Hijab – NY Times Article

COVERED Loretta Riggs and her daughter, Sarah Al-Abassi, at a park outside Pittsburgh.

She lost her balance, and by the time she got going again she was met with stares as she whizzed along, arms and legs draped in loose clothing, her scarf billowing in the breeze.

“You have to overcome the looks,” said Ms. Shearson, 43, the executive director of the Cleveland chapter of the Council on American-Islam Relations. “It’s already hard enough to exercise, and if you look different … it’s even harder.”

As a Muslim woman in the United States, Ms. Shearson has found it difficult to stay fit while adhering to her religious principles about modesty. Islam does not restrict women from exercising — in fact all Muslims are urged to take care of their bodies through healthy eating and exercise — but women face a special set of challenges in a culture of co-ed gyms and skimpy workout wear.

Many pious Muslim women in the United States, like Ms. Shearson, wear hijab in public, loose garments that cover their hair and body, which can hinder movement and add to discomfort during exercise. Women may show their hair, arms and legs up to the knees in front of other women.

Muslim women are often limited in their choice of activity, as well. Some believe that certain yoga chants, for example, are forbidden, as well as certain poses like sun salutations (Muslims are supposed to worship only Allah). For the sake of modesty, working out around men is discouraged.

That modesty can be a benefit and a liability. On the one hand, Muslim women are spared some of the body-image issues that other women face; on the other, that freedom can be a detriment to their physical well-being.

“We don’t have the external motivation that non-Muslim women have,” said Mubarakha Ibrahim, 33, a certified personal trainer and owner of Balance fitness in New Haven, a personal training studio catering to women. “There is no little black dress to fit into, no bathing suit. When you pass through a mirror or glass you’re not looking to see ‘Is my tummy tucked in? Do I look good in these jeans?’ You’re looking to see if you’re covered.”

After gaining 50 pounds while pregnant with her first child, Ms. Ibrahim studied exercise and nutrition, and became certified through the Aerobics and Fitness Association of America. In 2006 she opened her studio, which offers a safe environment for women to exercise (she says she has more orthodox Jewish clients, who also adhere to rules of modesty).

Ms. Ibrahim said she would like to see exercise become as natural a part of a Muslim woman’s life as praying.

In July, about 120 women from around the country attended Ms. Ibrahim’s third annual Fit Muslimah Health and Fitness Summit in New Haven. She offered yoga, kickboxing, water aerobics and core conditioning classes alongside workshops on weight loss, nutrition, cancer prevention and diabetes at the two-day, women-only event. She plans to hold another one in Atlanta in February.

“An important part of your spirituality is your health,” said Tayyibah Taylor, publisher of Azizah, a magazine for Muslim women, and co-sponsor of the summit meeting. “You can’t really consider yourself in good health if all parts of your being are not healthy — your body, your mind and your soul. It’s a complete package.”

This is especially true now, during Ramadan, the Islamic month of fasting from dawn until sunset. “The Muslim prayer is the most physical prayer — the sitting, bowing, bending,” said Daisy Khan, executive director of the American Society for Muslim Advancement. “The physicality of our prayer forces us to create flexibility in our body.”

But how to mix one’s physical and spiritual needs with practicality? Some Muslim-Americans go to women-only gyms like Curves, which has thousands of branches across the country. And some gyms and Y.M.C.A.’s offer gender-segregated areas, hours or days.

Other women, like Umm Sahir Ameer, a 27-year-old student in Shaker Heights, Ohio, take matters into their own hands. Last year, Ms. Ameer started the Muslimah Strive Running-Walking Group so she and 12 of her friends could exercise together.

“I wanted to establish this group as a way to further unite Muslim women in my community while gaining physical endurance,” she said.

Those who do work out in co-ed gyms have learned to make accommodations in their clothing. Loretta Riggs, 40, an educational coach in Pittsburgh, started exercising two years ago after divorcing her husband. She wears a scarf made of spandex, long-sleeved Under Armour shirts and Adidas or Puma pants.

“Some women don’t think you should be working out in a co-ed gym,” she said, “but I’m around men all the time in my workplace, when I take my kids to the park, when I walk outside.”

She added: “Why would I deprive myself of being healthy because I am a Muslim and I choose to cover? It’s very important to take care of myself.”

Mariam Abdelgawad, 21, a math teacher in San Jose, Calif., said that in high school she played hockey, soccer and ran track and field, all while wearing hijab.

But today she works out at home, since there are no female-only gyms in her neighborhood. Her parents, with whom she lives, have a treadmill, elliptical machine and Pilates equipment, as well as weights. She exercises about three times a week, but said she missed the camaraderie of the gym.

Though working out at home is convenient, she said, it is also very easy to procrastinate and not do it. “I don’t have all the options that a gym would have,” she said.

Swimming also poses problems. Although some Muslim women have been known to hop in the water in their street clothes, this can be cumbersome for a workout. The burqini — a one-piece outfit that resembles a scuba wet suit — has received a lot of attention in recent months (most notably in France, where a young woman was banned from wearing one at a pool), but it tends to be too form-fitting for some women.

“I tried it once, and it sticks to your body,” said Marwa Abdelhaleem, a 26-year-old teacher in Toronto who started a female-only swimming group to avoid the burqini question. “It’s really fitted. I wouldn’t wear it in public.”

Ms. Ibrahim, however, is more focused on the private.

“One of the ideas I promote is that when you are married and you take off your clothing, your husband should not be like, ‘You should put this back on,’ ” Ms. Ibrahim said. “Even if you wear a burqa, you should be bikini-ready. You should feel comfortable and sexy in your own skin.”

Fit Muslimah Summit

Fit Muslimah Summit
July 24, 2009

“Muslim women in North America have a fitness predicament, because of their loose clothes and Islamic values of modesty they do not have to worry about fitting into a holiday black dress or summer bikini, as a result many Muslim women don’t exercise as often as they should,” says Ibrahim, who was born and raised Muslim. “And for stricter practicing Muslims that don’t intermingle with men, co-ed gyms pose a greater challenge to being physically fit.” I want to help Muslim women and girls to discover that fitness and Islam are a natural fit.”

The event is being held in at a private retreat center in the Northwest Hill of CT in an all-female environment where participants will have a choice from various fitness classes and health workshops. Yoga, Kickboxing, Swimming, Water Aerobics and Core Conditioning fitness classes will go along side of workshops on weight loss, hypnosis, nutrition, Prophetic medicine and motivational speakers.

The 3-day event will bring together Muslim women professionals from all across the North America in effort to “to encourage Muslim women and girls to live a healthy lifestyle by staying physically fit and taking a proactive stance on their health”. Co-sponsored by MuslimahFitness.com, an online gym for Muslim Women, Aziza Magazine, a quarterly publication for Modern American Muslim Women, Tri-State Media, a newspaper for and by Muslims in the tri-state area, and Fat Loss 10: The 10 Commandments of Fat Loss, the event is the only one of its kind in the world and is expected to attract Muslim women from all over the world.
